Master Of None

Chapter 1563: 1563. Rise Meets Potions

”Where are we going to head now?” Mordant had captured Walkerʼs attention as soon as the parring had finished. He was sure that if they remained where they were that Ignus and Barry would drag them in to some form of training.

”I was thinking about the alchemy guild. I am sure you know why.” The look on Mordantʼs face grew excited. He had been waiting to grab more of the affinity potions that Rise had yet to even hear about.

”I believe that will be the best place to go.” This statement confused Rise since she felt she had no need for any potions. She was jot injured and alchemy was not something that the dragons worried about. They could heal over time without much worry. If they needed to heal faster they could ask for a dragon with healing skills or just consume special herbs in the wild.

”That sounds to be a waste of the time I have offered you by visiting here. I have already been forced to watch a display of skills that can not rival my dragonkin in any way.” Rise as being more stubborn than Terron or Ignus ever could be. She would not admit that there was potential for her dragonkin to learn from the elven spell swords.

”Your dragonkin was injured on the cheek by a slash from the earth spell blade just now. I believe that he will be learning a lot to change his battle style. I also believe that he will learn to counter many others.” Mordant had to rebuttal her. However, it was easier because he knew that Rise would be surprised that there was a potion that could make her affinity drastically improve.

”The potions I want to show you are still being experimented on. I promise that you will find them beyond your liking.” With such a bold statement, Rise realized that Walker held some of the dragonʼs pride that she had. It was interesting to feel such a pride radiating from a human that was not in any way a dragon.

”I accept that challenge of yours. I will determine whether they are worth being in my presence.” Rise followed Mordantʼs excited lead wondering just what had made another royal dragon so energetic. It was clear that Walker and Mordant were hiding things from her.

”I expected you to remember or have been told about the potions that my party member Remey worked on. She is an alchemical brawler. She is the first with this sort of system in the world. She can battle face to face with an opponent or create unique potions. She is also the avatar of fire that bonded with the newly named grand fire elemental spirit.”

All the things that Walker said were enough to properly pique Riseʼs interest. She had not been able to fully accept that Walker was bringing her around such a place. Most;y because in her opinion, many of the things in Genesis were unnecessary.

”That smell…” It didnʼt take long for Rise to catch a whiff of the special herbs being grown in the man fields set aside for the alchemy guild. They took up a large space behind the guild and was the only direct connection to some of the farms outside the walls because of this. It was also why there was the largest road out of the city in the same direction.

Not to mention that it was the road that would eventually attach to the forest elf kingdom.

”Look who it is.” Sitting outside the alchemy guild with a few familiar faces was Ventus. She had a table set up and was currently having an in depth conversation with Trish and the old master alchemist. ” I didnʼt believe you would last this long. I expected you to become angry and try to clean this place.” The small attack on Rise didnʼt even make her flinch.

”I have been viewing the worth of this place. I am one that should see all there is before placing judgment down. As a younger dragon, you would not know this.” The two clearly didnʼt want anything to do with one another. Rise made that very clear.

”We came to see Remey, is she upstairs?” Walker tried to ignore the glaring dragons. He knew that Trish and the old master alchemist would have a good idea of what was going on.

”Yes, Remey has been dealing with a few small matters. Classes have been getting a little harder on the older alchemists because so many younger alchemists have joined. There is a lack of experience that needs to be filled.” Trish seemed to have the same lack of sleep over this as the old master alchemist.

”Eventually we will need to split them in to grades of some form. I want to do so now but it is too early to properly judge their skills. It would be better if they could be less energetic. We have yet to get most of the herb gardens up to standards.” The herbs that took many years to grow were what the old master alchemist was most worried about.

He was sure that many of them would get rushed with skills and be of a lesser quality. They really need to send adventurers out to procure wild herbs sooner. It was just a matter of getting paperwork together.

”It sounds like you have both been busy. Itʼs surprising that you have the time to spend here with Ventus.” Walker felt it was a little worth teasing them. ”On another note, This is Trish, she is one of the best alchemists you will ever meet. And this old man is the only alchemist Remey will go to when she needs help. He practically raised her when she wasnʼt raising her siblings in the orphanage.”

Walker didnʼt see a point in hiding the connections that Remey had. She wasnʼt one to worry about such things. However, he didnʼt notice that Rise was surprised by this. She had not considered that the humans kept orphans. That they cared for those that had lost parents that could protect them.

Most of the time the hatchlings that were left parentless were cast out because they were unable to gain strength.

”He is also the one that will tell out about the potions he invented and the guild has worked together to create multiple elemental varieties and grades of. The high version of them is still hard to create and the grand potions are being experimented with. Eventually I expect them to master these things.” Walker saw the light enter the old master alchemistʼs eyes.

He was now up to date on what Walker was talking about.

”The affinity potions that Walker is mentioning are the theory I spent years developing. They are few in number but as royal dragons welcomed by our esteemed city, I have set aside some. I believe I just completed some of the light affinity potions this morning.” Rise was instantly intrigued.

”The affinity potions are the best creation I have used yet when it comes to meditating. The dark affinity potions helped me recover my mana at a better rate than ever. Especially within the dark elemental floor of the mage tower.” Mordant looked hungry to gain a few more potions as well.

”Hmm, I wish to have some as well. I will walk with you to see them.” Ventus had finally been able to take the chance and gain the same potions as well. She had been waiting to ask about them but was too enticed by the relaxing scent of herbs and tea. It was rare to enjoy the breeze and feel calm.

”Come this way, we can head upstairs to the large lab we finished renovating. We have to make some changes on the second to highest floor for large demonstrations. Itʼs unoccupied now.” Trish and the old master alchemist lead the way. Ventus, Rise, and Mordant could smell every potion brewing. Every herb being crushed or cut.

It was a very stimulating experience that made them extremely curious about the potions.

Rise didnʼt hide this at all either. Alchemy was foreign thing to dragons for the most part. They had not taken the time to focus on it due to their own regenerative qualities. Even the dragonkin who were much weaker did not focus on alchemy.

”If you all like what you see, you can have your dragonkin come here to learn. I know Ignus, Mordant, and Current have sent us dragonkin to learn. I am excited to see what they can do. They are young dragonkin but they should be able to learn something. Alchemy systems for the dragonkin are rare from what I have been told.” The old master alchemist didnʼt hesitate to use names without titles.

It made Rise flinch but she couldnʼt find anger in her to reprimand him. He was old and did not speak with any disrespect. It was actually the opposite. It made Rise wonder how long he had spent thinking and creating to reach such a level.
